210

This marks the 210th post to the Domino Effect since I came back to using the blogger service. I thought it would only make sense to pay homage to the car that was responsible for setting me free:

My 1981 Datsun 210 Station Wagon w/ an A14 4-Cyl Motor, 5 speed transmission, no radio, no power steering, no AC, no anything. Nope, about the only luxury item on this rig was, um, uh... The rearview mirror had a night switch!

Okay, so the picture is of someone else's - mine looked nearly identical, save the cool rims.

Yes, I took my shiny Datsun to the Beach, rural Washington (long story), Downtown, the Burbs - just about anywhere my $5 of gas money would take me (that was nearly a half tank in those days!).

We called her Jolene, after some girl I had a crush on in middle school. The name just kind of stuck. I do miss the ol' jalopy, even if it was about as safe as driving around tin foil.

MemoryLaningly,
